Spurs, Thunder, Bulls and Sixers remain NBA's four unbeatens
Reigning champion Oklahoma City, the Philadelphia 76ers, the San Antonio Spurs and the Chicago Bulls remained undefeated with impressive NBA triumphs on Monday.
The league's last four undefeated clubs topped a busy 11-game slate.
Philadelphia guard Tyrese Maxey scored 43 points and Bahamian rookie guard VJ Edgecombe added 26 to lead the 76ers (3-0) to a 136-124 home triumph over Orlando.
"He's elite, man," Edgecombe said of Maxey, his partner in the NBA's top-scoring backcourt starters through three games. "Very versatile, super fun guy to play with."
Edgecombe, the third pick in this year's NBA Draft, added a spark as Cameroonian big man Joel Embiid was benched by the Sixers for left knee injury management.
"It's a must-win every night," Edgecombe said.
Oklahoma City got 23 points from reigning NBA Most Valuable Player and scoring champion Shai Gilgeous-Alexander plus 18 points and 11 rebounds from Chet Holmgren in a 101-94 victory at Dallas.
The Mavericks outscored Oklahoma City 25-14 in the fourth quarter but could not rally for the win.
D'Angelo Russell's floater lifted Dallas within 95-94 with 54.8 seconds remaining but Isaiah Hartenstein answered with a layup to give the Thunder a 97-94 edge.
Russell missed an attempted tying three-point shot and Holmgren rebounded for Oklahoma City, setting up two free throws by Gilgeous-Alexander with 21.3 seconds remaining.
Gilgeous-Alexander rebounded a Dallas three-point miss and Holmgren sank to final free throws to clinch the Thunder victory to reach 4-0.
Victor Wembanyama continued his strong start to the 2025-26 campaign, scoring 24 points and grabbing 15 rebounds to lead San Antonio's 121-103 home triumph over Toronto.
Stephon Castle added 22 points for the Spurs, who improved to 4-0.
Chicago's Ayo Dosunmu scored 21 points to lead eight Bulls double-digit scorers in a 128-123 home victory over Atlanta.
Dosunmu hit 7-of-10 shots, 4-of-6 from three-point range, while Nikola Vucevic added 17 points, 17 rebounds and nine assists and Josh Giddey contributed 18 points and 13 rebounds for the Bulls, who improved to 3-0.
Kristaps Porzingis led the Hawks with 27 points.
Cleveland's Donovan Mitchell scored 35 points and Jarrett Allen added 20 to lead the Cavaliers' 116-95 romp at Detroit while reserve Tari Eason had 22 points and Alperen Sengun added 21 to power Houston's 137-109 home rout of Brooklyn.
Anfernee Simons scored 25 points off the bench and the Boston Celtics cruised to victory 122-90 at New Orleans.
Later games saw Phoenix at Utah, Denver at Minnesota, Memphis at Golden State and Portland at the Los Angeles Lakers.
